Hanes Mall is a shopping mall in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. It is located on Silas Creek Parkway, off of I-40 via the Stratford Road and Hanes Mall Boulevard exits. Hanes Mall Boulevard, the road named after the mall, has become a very high traffic count area with over 250 businesses stretching over 2.9 miles. The mall has 1,435,164 square feet (133,331m2)GLA and has 3 anchor stores and over 170 tenants in all.
Hanes Mall was North Carolina's largest enclosed shopping mall until 2004 when SouthPark Mall in Charlotte finished its expansion project.[citation needed].
History
The original mall, the north wing, was opened on August 6, 1975 with Belk, JCPenney and Sears as anchor stores. In 1990, a new wing was built, expanding the mall southward to include Ivey's (this store was signed as Ivey's but, due to an acquisition by the parent company, opened as Dillard's), Thalhimer's (converted to Hecht's in 1992, and to Macy's in 2006) and a new food court.[citation needed]
Because of this design, one must go through JCPenney to cross from one wing to the other. In addition, the mall is built into the side of a hill; patrons enter through the first floor on the south side of the mall, but must enter on the second floor on the north side. Hanes Mall is two stories throughout, with the exception of Belk and the former Macy's, which each have an additional floor.[citation needed]
The road that loops the mall's parking lot is known as Hanes Mall Circle and is the address for many outlying businesses. There are five roadway entrances into the mall parking lot, one off of Silas Creek Parkway, two off of Hanes Mall Boulevard, and two off of Stratford Road. Hanes Mall also had a four-screen General Cinema movie theater until October 10, 2000; it stood at the spot that is now home to the Texas Roadhouse restaurant. Golden Corral is in what used to be the parking lot next to the theater. Golden Corral has the theater's old address which is 180 Hanes Mall Circle. The theater closed after the lease ended. The theater was at Hanes Mall for 25 years and was one of the original buildings at the mall. [citation needed]
In the late 1980s, the arterialboulevard named after the mall was built. The boulevard had grown to serve as a corridor inside the surrounding commercial district. This also replaced a lengthy portion of nearby local road Vest Mill Road. In 1992, the Interstate 40 rerouting, allowed for a new half diamond interchange connecting Hanes Mall Boulevard to the new interstate stretch to be constructed. This replaced having to exit off at the Silas Creek Parkway with the former Interstate 40 stretch to access the mall. Texas Roadhouse officially opened on September 20, 2004.[2] A Dick's Sporting Goods store would then open two years later in 2006.[3]
An H&M store opened in November, 2011.[4] This was the second store to open in the Carolinas, the first being in Raleigh.[5]
On November 8, 2018, it was announced that Sears would be closing as part of a plan to close 40 stores nationwide. The store closed in February 2019.[6]Novant Health bought the building and parking areas.[7]
On January 8, 2020, it was announced that Macy's would also be closing as part of a plan to close 29 stores nationwide. The store closed in March 2020.[9]Truliant Federal Credit Union opened an operations center in the former Macy's space in January 2023.[10][11]
